teeter

I am moving to a new topic about this issue which came up on another thread. I may have mentioned that Marley didn't like to bang the teeter - she floated. I suspect that somehow my agility instructor may have read this post or been notified by the one person on this forum who knows who she is - you know who you are :lol:

satruday we ran a short set of obstacles and I had to put Marley back on the teeter with my instructor asking - what do you notice. well her weight is over her rear! (didn't I just bring this up on the forum)

we spent most of the rest of the class working on teeter games. poor Marley, they did not include going the length of the teeter and letting it float down - but she may actually start to enjoy the bang 8O

OK, I'm really confused!!

1) How does an OES make anything airborne float???? 8O :lol: :lol: :lol: (I WISH!)

2) isn't having her weight on her rear a good thing? A bit more controlled descent, joints better poised to absorb the shock, that kind of thing?

I must be missing something. But I did NOT tattle on you 8) :lol: :lol:

<maybe Sybil...? :lmt: > 8)

apparently having her weight on her rear slows her down too much. she is not running until she controls the downward (floating I mean it) angle. so we are fdoing teeter 101 and jumping 101 and weaves 101 and contacts 101 and handling 101......

Francine thinks its the fact that she never properly learned the teeter that is the problem (remember NIKE agility).

SO when you write up your performance piece maybe a diclaimer about only using instructors who know how to train for current agility science and do tons of foundation work? You have seen Malrey I figure we could Q if we went AKC even last year - apparently we would not have done it properly though :D Its the journey, not the destination.
